Reddit being down is how I found out about this place. This is literally my first post here. Thanks for sucking Reddit!
Welcome, hope you like Linux memes…and beans.
Don’t forget to apply to the No Poop Challenge!
Jokes aside, welcome. It’s a bit messy but fun here. Make sure to take a look at how instances work, for most part you can ignore it but it does improve a lot your experience.
Nooooo, the poor 100 users and 2 billion bots!
Nice. ☺️
Who cares? Reddit has historically had a ton of outtages. Why even post this?
I hope reddit dies
Oh no! Anyways…
Damn it, you beat me to it.
I was looking something up and of course Reddit came up but kept telling me “YOU BROKE REDDIT”.
What a shitty way to express an issue that your site is causing for users. Just go ahead and blame the users. That’s great for noobs who don’t know anything and will legitimately think they did something wrong on their end.
why do honest communicstion when yould instead make people feel guilty and coerce them into coming back
Reddit.com still works. Old.reddit.com does not.
Wonder if they’ve decided to finally do away with old reddit?
Edit: Old.reddit is back up for what it’s worth.
new.reddit.com still works it seems. I think they’re going to take Old.Reddit.com offline, the bastards. If they do that, I may end up back here at Lemmy fulltime. I know none of you want that!
That’s the final nail for a lot of people
I wish I still believed that
Not gonna happen. They’ll just re-lube the old condom while Reddit rapes them again.
Wow uh maybe pump the brakes on the hyperbole there boyo
Jesus dude
Same issue here.
I think it’s just a temporary issue, but I really will stop using Reddit if old.reddit.com goes down. There are niches that just aren’t on here… but that UI.
The UI is unacceptable and an exercise in everything wrong with modern UI.
Back up now for me, all frontends.
Both don’t work for me.
They are going to use the scrapping of old as the reason why. My apps that scrape it are down.
My how I Wish lemmy was better.

When my Lemmy instance is down (which is very rare, much more stable than Reddit), I just browse via a different instance!
Another strength of decentralized social media
It’s beautiful. I’ve been here when world was down and the rest of Lemmy runs business as usual.
I’m all for substantial and lulzy schadenfreude, but this is service notification made into a daily mail article, that’s when one starts seeming obsessed with a site one doesn’t use anymore
To be fair, the day they actually kill old.reddit we can expect an influx of new users here, so it’s still good to keep an eye on it
Think of all the poor bots that can’t repost!
In some faraway data center fan noise has reduced somewhat for the duration.
Oh no. The poor repost bots 😔
There are a thousand dozen of us!
Not just the US. Can’t access it from NZ either.
I definitely prefer the vibe of lemmy but there’s still communities I visit on Reddit for reviews and discussions about more niche topics.
Hang on, I’m 3D printing a tiny violin.
…butt I’m on the toilet! I need my precious!
Use Lemmy
What’s Lemmy?
Hell yeah
